Know the Gift

Scripture:

John 4:10  "Jesus answered and said to her, 'If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink', you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water'".

Observation:

Jesus was talking to a woman at a well who had a bad reputation.  He asked her for a drink and she was saying that they shouldn't even be talking to each other, let alone asking for a drink.  Jesus replies to her by saying, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is" asking you.  He was letting her know that He had more to offer her than she realized.

Application:

Sometimes we don't realize the gift of God and who Jesus is.  Jesus came to bring us the gift of salvation from our sins and to restore us to the Father.  We must realize and recognize the gift and the who.  We often don't realize that the greater one truly lives within us.  We often don't realize that the Holy Spirit is truly with us today.  When we realize it, we will live differently.

Prayer:

Father, let me live my life by the power of Your Spirit.  Help me to walk in the gift of God and to know Jesus better.  I love you and don't want to neglect the gift of Christ and what He wants to do in my life.

Your Son,
Jeff
